Internet equal to knowledge or entertainment

Believe it or not, it’s been almost a week since I last drop by here for an entry. Recently has been a little lazy due to Olympic games :D Anyway, this housemate of mine gimme the idea of writing this entry. Computer has been around and will still be around. People thought that computer helps us, but in what way? My point of view is, the real education is on the society, not in a box. Many parents ended up complaining that their child spending too much time on games.

Correct! My housemate who is also a student tell me very clearly that he wanna play games, that’s why he get a laptop. He was true to his word, he has been spending hours and hours on game, let alone the time rushing the last minute graphic work for the next day. I understand that computer bring the convenience and combination of entertainment and education. But it ends up on entertainment more than education.

However, in order to make himself look more smart because of internet, he told me lots of stuff about this and that, but everything that he said, he can’t feel it, he can’t learn from it. In the end of the day, everything that he read from the internet ended up becoming his thought of the day only. What’s the point?

People said the generation born between 90′ – now is the IT generation, who are gonna use computer as their main source of knowledge and entertainment. Let’s rephrase it if possible eh?
